Letters Patent 1V0. 79,706, dated July 7, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-FLOWS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that-I, THEOPHILUS A. WAINWRIGJFIT, of Wilson, in the countyof Wilson, and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Cottou-Plows, (which I have assigned to Messrs.Farmer & Wainwright;) and the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had 1 to tbe accompanyingdrawings, making a part of this specificatiom'in which Figure 1represents a perspective view of the metal portion of my improvedcotton-plow.

My invention consists in the construction of the iron frame, forattaching to the point,'and parting-shield above the point, the rightand left-wing scraper in the rear, the handles and beam, all in the mostsimple and elficient manner, each piece being held firmly to the frameby a single bolt or key, as he einafter more fully described. I

The frame A, with its upright post, B curved back-brace G, and flange a,with the big 6 and opening, 0, bolt and key-holes, are all cast perfectand complete from one pattern, ready to receive top parting-shie1d ordouble mould-board D and the point E, corresponding with its shape,they, both of them, being secured to the upright, B, by a single bolt, 2e, each.

The rightand left-wing scraper F is also cast in one piece, so that itmay beplaced in the opening 0 in the base of the frame A, and firmlysecured by one bolt, 0!, in the lug b. The handles of the plow, and thebeam, may be constructed in the usual form, and secured to the post Band flange a by a single bolt and key.

Thus it will be seen that a very neat, substantial, simple, cheap, andeflicient cotton-plow can be put up, I with the least possiblemachine-work in fitting, and be made very durable, as the point andscrapers can be replaced with the most perfect case, when they becomeworn or broken.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The construction of the frame A B C, it being cast from one patterncomplete, and the manner of securing theretcuallof the necessary parts,as above described, by a single boltor key each, substantially as andfor-the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand m the presence of-THEOPHILUS A. WAINWRIGH'I.
